Part 6: Accurate Hiring is Your Secret Weapon
Your operation wouldn't be where it is today — and where you hope it can be tomorrow — without people. Putting the right people into the right seats is likely the single most important thing you can do to meet your strategic objectives.
It all starts with a great hire and we provide the resources to guide you there.
→ Hiring Tactics and Strategy
Not only has the employment power position shifted into candidate's hands, their demands have placed a new burden upon organizations scrambling to keep enough people on the payroll to meet basic operational needs.
→ Should Hiring Be Like Dating?
Many people seek relationships via dating apps. These apps gather numerous types of information about people and use algorithms to find matches between individuals who share a lot in common and have similar tastes. Why should hiring be any different?
→ Hiring with the Core Values Index (CVI) Psychometric Assessment
Many hiring companies use the Core Values Index (CVI) psychometric assessment to screen candidates in the hiring process. Some applicants might view the prospect of taking a test as a burden they'd rather skip, but completing a psychometric assessment benefits them more in the end. Here's how.
→ Hiring Hard or Hiring Smart?
Stop hiring the hard way by bringing on warm bodies who's only qualification for the role is having a pulse. Hire smart by selecting top candidates with an accurate and reliable psychometric assessment, the Core Values Index.
→ Is There a Metric for Hiring Success?
Sales and development teams have metrics to measure success or failure. How do you quantifiably measure the success of your hiring efforts?
